Okay, so it's been a long while since I've posted, and that's due in large part to a software problem with Blogger and my general busy-ness, but today, I decided to rebel a bit against my busy-ness.

The weather here in the Bay has been amazing for days and days. I rode over to a meeting across campus with a co-worker who left for home from there. Walking back across campus with the squirrels and the sunshine and the fountain and everything, I thought, "God what a gorgeous day. I shouldn't go right back to the office. I should do something. I should..." And I looked up and saw Hoover Tower.

Two years I've been working here at Stanford, but today was the first time I've ever been to the top of Hoover Tower. I couldn't have picked a better day. The sky was blue and clear and I could see all the way to downtown San Francisco, where the clouds wrapped the buildings in the financial district with little white wisps. Cars scurried across the bridges. The grass below was green and lush. The hills to the West were green and rolling. Everything was just sublimely beautiful.
